Produktbeschreibung
As neoliberalism has expanded from corporations to higher education, the notion of "diversity" is increasingly seen as the contribution of individuals to an organization. By focusing on one liberal arts college, author Bonnie Urciuoli shows how schools market themselves as "diverse" communities to which all members contribute.
